If you really care that some random mouthbreather next to you at a light will be quicker, then nothing will save you.

The Miata is certainly one of the most significant and successful production cars ever. Both in terms of mass consumption and for enthusiasts.

 

I have a 95 miata as a dedicated track car. It's pretty much stock except for the rt615 tires i put on it and kyb agx struts. It's a fun little car to whiz around in.
